First, about the good things. The interior is cute. Comfortably. I love everything in the rustic style. But it's cramped. It can be seen that the tables were even glued close to the bar for the sake of profit, so you can't approach it now. More from the good stuff: delicious salad, excellent meat! On the downside: Julia, the waitress, is not very friendly and is already quite tired. We watched all evening as other waiters brought out hot food to the rest of the guests, accompanied by Belarusian music, while dimming the lights. This is important because the hot stuff is served with fireworks. But Julia decided that one light would be enough for us. There was no music or playing with the lights. It seems like a small thing. But the unpleasant aftertaste remained. It's like we're worse than the rest. Well, the main disadvantage is bad draniki. How can you not be able to make draniki in Belarus? Surprise. One flour. I can't feel the potatoes. In general, it is designed for tourists who once went and left.

I'll start with a fly in the ointment. I booked a table by phone, we arrive at the appointed time, no one meets us. We stand for a minute, two, five....completely ignored. You can, of course, go in yourself. But, first of all, this is my first time in this establishment, maybe we have a certain table assigned to us. Secondly, in such establishments it is still customary to meet! In general, time is passing, we are standing, already feeling like unwanted guests. Honestly, I was already thinking of leaving, but I decided to knock on the window of the "house" at the entrance anyway. The receptionist finally came out with an extremely displeased look and, as if doing us a favor, escorted us to the table. Probably. We had to thank her very much that she decided to do her job anyway. By the way, on this day I specifically kept an eye on the entrance, not only we, but also a number of guests had to stand for 5 minutes or longer and wait for them to be met. I am reducing the rating by one star for the unprofessional behavior of the administrator. Further, from the cons. Tincture glasses are poured at the entrance. Obviously for the guests. But no one offers to help themselves. There are no signs like "Welcome drink to everyone" or, conversely, "On the move". As a result, I personally, as a cultured person and not accustomed to taking unpaid or not offered, could not try the tincture. The barrier of parenting, so to speak. Maybe we should somehow voice it, they say, this is for you, dear guests????? Or was it also supposed to be done by the administrator at the entrance??? I won't shoot a star specifically for this, but the tinctures are free (if they are free), you definitely need to beat them somehow!! Now about the good stuff! ))) The place is soooo interesting! Decorated in the style of a Belarusian village. The cuisine is also Belarusian-oriented, as well as the entertainment program in the evenings. We were there on Tuesday (September 23rd). Music was playing, a musician was singing live, people were dancing. The accordion player replaced the disco part, then songs and dances again. We were absolutely delighted with the accordion player! Great job! The songs are alternately in Russian and Belarusian. In general, the national flavor is sustained in all the details (music, cuisine, interior). And this is certainly very interesting! Serving many dishes is beautiful, interesting, and not trivial. For example, a pot with a flame was right there with a fire under the pot (keeping it warm for a while). At this point in my story, I want to mention one thing about her. I read in the reviews that when the dishes with fireworks are taken out, the lights turn off and the Belarusian music turns on. When we were there, NOTHING like this happened at all. (((( The dishes from the fireworks were ordered by us and other people in the hall, but we carried them out in the light and without changing the background music. If it weren't for the reviews, I wouldn't even know it could be any other way. It's a small thing, but it's insulting and incomprehensible. About the food itself. The portions are sooo big! So, considering the volume, the prices are humane. The draniki are normal (ordinary), the pot with fire is delicious, the salad (pictured) is a little dry and bland. The waiter is fast. At 22 o'clock, everyone is invited outside to roast bacon on a campfire. )) It's free. )) And it's fun. ))) I liked. To sum up, the place is unusual, to be honest, for an amateur. Personally, with the exception of these disadvantages, I really liked everything!
